    Scheduled to make $8 mil. in 2008, as much as $13 mil. with incentives. ESPN story

    TailgatOr, thanks for the input. I'm admittedly not familiar enough with Duke to know any of the other three names you mentioned. I'll keep my eyes out for McClure & Smith - are they backcourt guys, too? Henderson was the Duke player who impressed me most during the most recent Duke-UNC showdown. Nelson overall has probably impressed me the most... mostly because he's got those sticky feet that defenders need, but also his offensive game is dynamic (aside from the fact that his shooting mechanics are downright ugly - is there a slower release/shot than his?). His finishing ability at & around the rim is incredible.

    Stevo, I am also disappointed that Paulus is having a good year - he's made great strides since his freshman year. Maybe I'm incorrect, but I get the impression he's a streaky shooter. He's a solid offensive PG from what I can tell, but I have to say I don't think his footwork on D (or any Duke backcourt player aside from DeMarcus Nelson, for that matter - unless you count Henderson as a backcourt player) is very good - he gets beat off the dribble seemingly routinely. Sure, he'll do the Duke thing and flop/take a charge, but that alone isn't good defense. That said, as always, Duke plays very strong team defense.

    Sweet! Thanks casey, and also to zachlaka & baldkin. Much appreciated, boys. Here's what fixed it for me (from the link casey provided): To make background transparent behind the text under your desktop icons you must not have any web items on your desktop. Right click on your desktop, click "Properties", select the "Desktop" tab, at the bottom left of this tab click on "Customize Desktop", this will open a new window called "Desktop Items", in this new window select the "Web" tab and make sure that there are no items checked in the "Web pages:" frame.

    I appreciate it fellas, but unfortunately it didn't work. Would my playing around with the color settings for the icons (the 'right-click' process I mentioned in the OP) be a factor?
  6. TooLiveBrew
    Relatively simple - I want my desktop icons' text footers to be transparent relative to the background wallpaper. This was one of those instances where I didn't apply any kind of changes, but the desktop sort of re-set on its own. I can access the "Properties" with a right-click on the desktop, and can change the color of the text footers, but I can't find an option that says 'transparent' or figure out how to change back to whatever default setting it had been on. Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif (it's because I have a sweet pic of the LF bleachers area of Miller Park - pic is mainly of Bernie's chateau/house - as my wallpaper)

    MLB 2K8 is coming out for the Wii. Finally a real baseball game on the Wii. That's fantastic news. I've been waiting to hear something like this! If Wii get a baseball game, Wii'll buy one. Thank you Wii!

    ha HA! If that's really the genesis of the name... a tip of the cap to you, sir. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    If it's not The Show again, that means they messed it up, ginormous-time. It's going to be The Show '08. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Case closed then. It's like an episode of Mythbusters. Well, it was a really cool question to pose. Nice creativity.

    *bump* I really hope 'Ysus can find a home before Mon. the 11th... or anytime soon thereafter!
  12. TooLiveBrew
    He could actually really help NYY. They can afford spending on a LHP-specialist, and given that both their corner OFs are lefties, it seems a logical fit.
  13. TooLiveBrew
    Glad they found something to do to fill ~ 45 min. of their lives during the strike.
  14. TooLiveBrew
    With Milwaukee being in contention, I could see the FO wanting some guys who could move fast and contribute. The Mets took Eddie Kunz and Brant Rustich in the first two rounds last year, so I'd say it'd be possible for the Brewers to follow suit. Yea, especially given that you can view the possession of compensatory picks as having 'free' picks (as in, ones you wouldn't have had normally), then you can afford to take some more risks - as in, drafting for a need or drafting guys based on MLB readiness.

    Gallardo's itty-bitty by comparison. That said, both have the ability to make hitters look really, really bad. Do you mean his delivery is 'itty-bitty by comparison'? Liriano's not really tall, either.
  16. TooLiveBrew
    Man, good luck Robin & 'Ysus. Looks like a great, loving dog. I only wish I could help! Sorry.

    Estrada put up a slightly better line with runners on base (.297/.317/.406/.723) than his overall season line in 2007. Yes, his numbers in the 'close & late' situation were not good. However, since it was over 55 AB, I think I'd tend to trust his three-yr. splits a lot more. C & L (192 AB): .286/.325/.427/.752 Our catcher is a great clubhouse presence...he calls a good game...he handles a pitching staff well...he blocks balls in the dirt... In 2008, it's Jason Kendall. In past years, when defending a poor-hitting old catcher who doesn't throw out basestealers, all you had to do was substitute the name Keith Osik....Gary Bennett....Eddie Perez...Jesse Levis... I know, GSP... I worry about the same ol' same ol' too, but if absolutely nothing else, Kendall can get on base at a well-above average rate for a C (or #8 hitter). That alone is enough reason to be optimistic about his presence.
  18. TooLiveBrew
    It's certainly possible. (goosebumps) Right now, Pujols or Santana.
  19. TooLiveBrew
    Well, it's Duke-NC talk on ESPN... wonder if we'll hear about this after today...
  20. TooLiveBrew
    I know the BBTF guys do utilize optimistic & pessimistic lines, but they publish their mean projections. That is, except for the guys they 'spotlight.' I'd guess if you subscribe to their site you can access the rest of the data, but that's just a guess.
  21. TooLiveBrew
    Agreed with b19. Yea, I'm remembering them, but in the 'Who was that company with the incredibly racist ad(s)... you know, that one I'll make sure to never give my business... oh yea - Salesgenie!' way.

    Previously... now... and forevermore, I loathe the Red Sox & their fans. But New Yorkers are the fans who wanted Andy Phillips to play instead of Giambi. Or think Aaron Small was good. I think Red Sox fans on the whole are a smarter lot. C'mon man. Are you seriously suggesting that you can supply more than just what you've encountered on talk radio, or from a small handful of encounters/people for this?
  23. TooLiveBrew
    I would be surprised, personally. Between Hawpe, Holliday, Spilborghs, & Taveras, that's 4 guys who likely are better than Scotty as of now. Plus they have Jeff Baker who can play some corner OF, and I'm sure at least one prospect that could give Scott a run for his money. I'll grant that Taveras's game is much different from Po's, but with them being basically based on speed, I'll take the younger Taveras (plus, he's a solid defender iirc).
